Class Experience

This trial class is for anyone who might be interested in my year long US or World History Self-Paced courses but is hesitant to commit before knowing if my teaching style is a good fit. This one-time class is structured just like my year long self-paced classes so that students can get a taste of how I teach, what the assignments are like, and how the self-paced class week flows. This is a great example for how my longer classes will run and should provide students with an idea of my teaching style. 

All of my classes, especially my US History classes, are inclusive and anti-racist. We will be covering tough subjects and tackling tough topics from the point of view of the people involved, particularly the marginalized groups involved.

I currently offer two four-part United States History series and two four-part World History series. Part one of each series can be found at the links below. All of my history classes rely heavily on primary sources because I believe the best way to learn history is through the eyes of those who lived it. This class, as well as my year long classes, begin with a lecture video by me, along with an assignment where learners will work on analyzing primary source materials such as photos, letters, diary entries, documents, or other written resources. 

This one-time class focus on the ancient Kushite kingdom of Meroë. In the lecture video I will give learners a background history of the ancient civilization of Kush, ending with information on the kingdom of Meroë. Then learners will look at photos of ancient artifacts and read primary source passages to determine what ancient sources can tell us about the kingdom of Meroë. All materials for this class will be provided by me and learners can either print the included pdf and write on the pages or type directly onto the pdf. Learners need no prior knowledge of the time period prior to taking this class.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
As with any World History course, we will be covering topics like death, war, and racism. I will not shy away from these topics, but will help the students understand that though racism, slavery, sexism, etc. are part of the fabric of World History, they are not acceptable by our standards today.
Supply List
A pdf of all materials will be provided.
Language of Instruction
English
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
All materials are provided for students. We will be looking at images of ancient artifacts like plaques, a bracelet, and a sandstone tablet, plus a reading from Greek geographer Strabo.

My Masters degree is in American Studies and I spent a great deal of my graduate studies focusing on the Civil War, Westward Expansion, and the Industrial Revolution. I have been teaching both US and World History courses both off and on Outschool for several years. For this particular class I am relying on primary sources as my main source material but have studied this era in history during both my undergrad and grad courses.
